To determine the optimal number of people Brianna should recruit to help, we need to consider the stability and effectiveness of the group.

One way to achieve stability is to have enough individuals to handle different tasks and responsibilities, while also maintaining a manageable group size to ensure effective coordination and communication.

Recruiting only 2 people (option d) may not provide enough manpower to handle the tutoring sessions effectively. With only two people, it may be challenging to cover all the necessary subjects and provide personalized attention to each student. Additionally, if one of the individuals is unable to attend a tutoring session, it may put more burden on the other person, potentially leading to burnout or inconsistent support for the middle school students.

Instead, it would be better to recruit a slightly larger group to ensure stability and effectiveness. A group size of 3 (option c) or 5 (option b) would be more optimal. Having 3 or 5 individuals would allow for better distribution of tasks, a wider range of expertise, and a backup plan in case someone is unable to attend.

Therefore, the optimal number of people Brianna should recruit to help would be either option c (3) or option b (5).
